Question: I wonder why some gear sent non domestically are far cheaper than say domestic gear ???
Answer: It's simple. Vendors sending domestically deal with customs and assume all of the risk. International vendors ship small packs and can afford to lose a pack here and there. Domestic sources lose bulk packs coming in and that can be very very expensive. Those costs are all considered in domestic pricing. It comes down to if the client wants lower prices and potential seizure letters or if they want to pay more without the risk of having their address flagged.
If you will do a research you will find that all the websites who sell USA domestic have a higher prices than International. The prices are higher because we need to open a warehouse overseas and send there the gears and many more things, plus it is a high risk for us. For you USA customers, it is the most convenient and fastest way to receive the package 2-5 days, without customs. So for our risk and your comfort, the prices are higher .
It doesn't mean that to order from overseas its dangerous. If your package will be lost or seized, we will reship it for free. But such things are very rare, because the delivery success is great. Anyway, in case a package is seized, customs send you a seizure letter, informing you that a package entitled to your name and address contains certain illegal substance. You are given a time frame of 30 days to claim the package, if you do nothing, the package is being destroyed. That's all. There is no penalty for you. If you will ever receive such letter, all you have to do is ignore it. Anyone can send to your mailbox anything. No one can prove that you have ordered this product.
